Two South Pasadena High students charged as juveniles in plot to kill "as many people as possible..." BY TERRY MILLER At a press conference at South Pasadena Police station Tuesday morning media outlets from around the world were told of the arrest of two teenage boys who were plotting a ‘massacre’ at South Pasadena High School. The two young men allegedly exchanged detailed plans via social media and verified their intentions in police interviews, according to South Pasadena Chief of Police, Arthur Miller. The two teenage boys were charged as juveniles Wednesday for plotting to kill three teachers and “as many people as possible.” Their names will not be released, according to the District Attorney. “It was very viable, what they were plotting.

The Tecolote Fire is specifically located above the East Fork of San Gabriel Canyon and is moving towards Crystal Lake. So far, it has burned approximately 300 acres. There is currently no threat to either city or the City of Duarte. Highway 39 is shut down in both directions at the base of the mountain and all canyon traffic is closed.

Dorothy's Place Parking lot frazzle
By Dorothy Denne You are here [X]. I know I am here, but how did I get here and where in Hell is my car? The American idea has long been that bigger is better: expand the shopping centers, scores of stores, everything in one stop, shop 'til you drop. Yeah, right. Then try to find your car. It's important to make mental notes from the beginning. I turn in off Z Street, make a right up the ramp, turn left and back through the structure. Fol-
low that one-way arrow down around and around and come out right by the little kiosk. Down one aisle, up the next almost to the end and park beside a big white post. I'll definitely remember the post. I hit it when I open the door. I walk through three rows of cars, then left to the escalator. I get off the escalator right by the fragrance counter. I walk past the yellow shirts, the green shirts and the Gawd-awful flowered ties, through the jewelry and out into the open mall. In and out of shops, upper level, lower level, round and round. I look a lot, try a lot, buy a little. I graze my way around the international food court, then turn to my right and check the movies.
Nothing appealing in any of the theaters, so I'm going home. No problem, just backtrack to the car. Call up the mental notes. Turn to my left and back to the escalator near the fragrance counter. Was the escalator in Macy's at the north end or in Penney's at the south end? Was that men's fragrances or women's fragrances? Did I leave the car on level B or level C or maybe level D? Was the sign blue or purple? Was that post #1 or post #73? Everything is so big. Everything looks alike. Where am I? I am here [X] standing in the bowels of the earth, and I haven't the foggiest notion where in Hell I parked my car....

“Come For A Day And Stay For A Lifetime.”
Pasadena Independent has learned that beleaguered PCC chief Dr. Mark Rocha is to get a whopping severance package as a parting gift August 31. On top that, his attorney fees will also be paid, up to $16,000 worth according to a report obtained under the Public Records act by this newspaper. What those attorney fees could be is somewhat unclear. However, the terms of the “severance agreement” would require an attorney so no doubt this is part of the equation. Nevertheless, it is duly noted that Dr. Rocha’s time at PCC has be peppered with considerable controversy almost from the time he was introduced four years ago. From the vote of no confidence to the publicly humiliating way he and others handled the commencement speaker fiasco this year. The Board of Trustees was heavily criticized this year for inviting Oscar-winning alumnus Dustin Lance Black to deliver the commencement address, then rescinded it over concerns
By Terry Miller about an illegally obtained sex video featuring the screenwriter. They invited him again and Black spoke. Rocha has consistently let the school be in the public eye, but for the wrong reasons. A negative stain has been etched on the walls of PCC, or as another journalist put it, a Rocha have given Pasadena’s City College “black-eye.” Faculty have taken two no-confidence votes in him and conducted an online review of Rocha's leadership that produced scathing results, with most respondents saying he had done a poor job of guiding the school. "Fascist approach to leadership," one wrote. "Rocha is destroying PCC," another said, according to a report in the LA Times. Rocha had been at Pasadena City College for nearly four years. Some faculty and students criticized Rocha for his management style and for approving the cancellation of a winter session. His resignation becomes effective Aug. 31, but his last official working day was July 31, according
to the contract. Initially, Pasadena City College officials declined to disclose details about Rocha's severance package. Rocha signed the agreement Aug. 4, three days before his retirement was announced. Fellow signed the agreement Aug. 7. Pasadena Area Community College District Trustees announced two weeks ago that Dr. Mark Rocha, SuperintendentPresident of the District and Pasadena City College, would retire from his position effective August 31. Dr. Anthony R. Fellow, President of the PACCD Board of Trustees, had the following comment regarding the terms of agreement between Dr. Rocha and the Board of Trustees. Rocha made $250,000 per year as PCC President. “The terms of the severance package are in the best interests of all parties. The financial and other components are consistent with severance terms for U.S. chief executive officers overseeing organizations with budgets of over a hundred million dollars.”

Serving Leaders, Serving Teams
E=ective September 15, 2014
A bi-monthly column by Heather Backstrom, Ed.D.
Feedback that Matters Many leaders struggle with giving feedback to employees. It can feel uncomfortable and stressful. On the flip side it’s vital to career development. These tips will help you prepare that so that it’s less stressful and more focused on career development. Consider the Purpose: Think about the reason for the feedback. This helps you focus on the bigger picture. If Barbara makes errors on the monthly sales report what’s the larger perspective? Sure, you need her to generate reports that are error free, but beyond that what is the bigger picture? Error free reports help the sales team focus their efforts. Likewise it helps marketing know what products are hot sellers and that helps inform manufacturing to prioritize production. In essence the bigger picture is about teamwork, productivity, efficiency and the mission of the company. Listen First: It’s beneficial to hear first what the employee has to say rather than immediately jumping in yourself. “Jim, let’s talk about the abc project. Seems that some things are going
well and some not. Let’s talk it through.” This invites Jim into the conversation rather than putting him immediately on the defense. It also lets him know that you want a balanced picture and haven’t immediately drawn conclusions. This also lets Jim identify some of the problems that need addressing. Be Specific and Actionable: Home in on how the employee can specifically improve or change. Saying, “work better with customers” is too vague and lacks action. Instead convey the expectation of how customers are to be greeted, followed-up with and handled during checkout. Being specific and actionable also helps you observe if the employee took the feedback to heart or not. So it makes your job easier in terms of observation and follow-up. Be Focused: Home in on one or two things that a person can do better or differently. Too much feedback on too many things simply puts the employee into a state of overwhelm which is counterproductive. Think about the most critical improvement or change the employee can
make and then keep your feedback focused on that. Camera Check: Sometimes you want to give feedback on behaviors rather than tangible work output. The trick here is to home in on the actual behaviors. Saying, “Ken, you have a bad attitude” is not helpful. It puts him on the defense and doesn’t tell him how to improve. Instead, make a mental note of the behaviors you’ve seen demonstrated that indicate his poor attitude. If you were to take a picture of his attitude what would you see? Perhaps he shows up late to meetings, rarely contributes ideas, makes negative comments and doesn’t offer help to others. If so, then make your feedback about that and the impact of it. Remember, feedback is ultimately about career development. Keeping this is mind makes the experience less stressful for you and the employee.

Rosemead man sentenced to prison for 26 years for killing and burying his mother in backyard
A Rosemead man convicted of killing his mother and burying her body in the backyard was sentenced Aug. 14 to 26 years to life in state prison, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced. John Taylor Huynh, 30, was found guilty by a jury on
March 20 of first-degree murder. Jurors also found true an allegation that the defendant personally used a deadly and dangerous weapon, a knife, in the commission of the crime. Deputy District Attorney Cynthia Valenzuela, who prosecuted the case, said
Huynh walked into the Alhambra Police Department on May 20, 2011 and told authorities that sometime in 2001 he killed his mother, Hong Tu Phuong. Furthermore, Huynh said he buried her body in the backyard of their rented El Monte condominium. Officials went to the home and discovered the victim’s body in a shallow grave, the prosecutor said. It was later determined that Phuong was stabbed to death. During the trial, the defendant testified that he moved out of the condo a week after the killing. When people asked about his mother’s whereabouts, Huynh provided various excuses, including that she had died of cancer and, in some instances, she had moved to Vietnam. The case was investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau.

Station Square enthusiasts Over the past two years, the City of Monrovia has been working hand-inhand with IBI Group to design the $25 million public improvement project we know as Station Square. Throughout this design process, the City Council gave direction at study sessions, the community weighed in at public meetings and open houses, and we worked with the Gold Line Construction Authority to make adjustments- all in an effort to get this project where it is today. The design phase is over and I believe that through this process, we have created a Station Square concept that will truly allow us all to be proud. Now, we have to build it. As I write this, contractors are bidding on two parts of the process: 1. Off-site work.
This will include street improvements, medians, undergrounding of utilities, tree planting, freeway improvements and a new traffic signal. 2. And Station Square. This is the work directly surrounding the not-so-distant future Gold Line station. It will include our Neighborhood Park, Depot Promenade and Transit Plaza. You’ll see new bike racks, public art and wayfinding signs. Station Square is the centerpiece to this entire project. In September, the City Council will award the OffSite and Station Square projects to the contractors who will complete the work. And on September 10, the City Council will officially break ground. Construction will begin next month. Construction work will be significant. You may see streets closed, you may find your way blocked at times,
and there will be noise and inconvenience. Bear with us. Remember, businesses will still be open, so please support them. This is the construction that will bring this project to life. We have committed to pushing the project along as quickly as possible so that you are not inconvenienced long, and we can open Station Square to you by the end of 2015 in conjunction with the completion of the Gold Line extension. For questions about construction, please call Public Works at (626) 932-5575 or email pwcomments@ci.monrovia.ca.us. Visit our website atwww. cityofmonrovia.org/stationsquare to sign up for email notices or text STATIONNEWS to 888777 for text alerts on construction. Sincerely, Carl Hassel City of Monrovia, Department of Public Works Director

Letters to the Editor
The Sierra Madre City Government really knows how to spend our hardearned tax dollars. Let's just list a few items that sort of jump out and subject them to question. The Athens Services (our Trash Company) for $92,000. Do the people pay for this service? What is the cost to the City? Do they receive all the Franchise fees that are charged to the users, which were not back-charged to the people before? Bank of America is listed as $40,000 for purchases with City Credit Cards. How many employees have credit cards and what is purchased? Do the people pay for gasoline purchases for privately owned cars? Do the people pay for "business lunches" or other items of personal benefit? The City of Glendale for $75,000 per year with a 10-year contract to train
paramedics. Aren't they certified EMT and/or paramedics before they are hired? It's only $750,000 of our money. Waterworks Aquatics pays the City $72,000 per year and makes improvements at the rate of approximately $50,000 per year. This isn't enough for some council members they want more even though they admit the government could not do the job of pool administration. Consultant was paid approximately $250,000 for advisory work on the General Plan. Shouldn't we have done this without this contract, which was actually by a number of volunteer citizens over a four-year period? First Transit, $1,500,000 for senior citizens transit. Couldn't this have been done at less cost as was in years past? Pasadena Humane Society for $27,000 for animal
84%
of newspaper readers own their home
control services. Why, when they collect all of the license fees paid to them directly? The Ferguson Group - $65,000 for Federal lobbying services. Is this waste? Can't our government people talk to our elected representatives? They thought so last year when four of them went to Washington and how much did that cost the taxpayers? The Gas Company - $30,000 Franchise Agreement for City utilities. Doesn't the Gas Company back charge the people for this franchise? It was never billed to the people before. Willdan Associates - $240,950 for building inspection services. This job was a part-time, two day a week job. We could go on further, but we are sure that you get the point that the City is wasting our hard-earned dollars. Sierra Madre Watchman

Local girls become young scientists and tech “experts” at Tech Trek Camp In one short week, eleven middle-school girls from San Gabriel Valley school districts became more science and tech savvy. They spent June 15-21 on the Whittier College campus at Tech Trek Science/Math Camp for Girls exploring courses and possible futures in STEM Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW). The goal of Tech Trek Camp is to help young women entering eighth grade in the fall to develop interest, excitement, and self-confidence in the fields of math and science-----in hope that they will continue to take more classes in those fields and o on to related careers. Representing Arcadia were Nancy Cho and Carrie Saleeb. El Monte City School District was represented by Joycelyn Reyes, Mariana Perez, Alena Perez, Veronica Castro, Jessica Liu and Malinelly Romero. Monrovia sent Mariah Robles and Temple City sent Faith Gutierrez. These young women received a preview of college life while learning that math and science can be enjoyable. They lived in dorms on the Whittier College campus for the week and attended classes that emphasized hands-on experiments and were taught by

credentialed middle-school teachers. Some of the core classes were Robotics and Mars City Alpha (about Mars’ environment). Field trips included outings to the Long Beach Marine Institute and Griffith Park Observatory. The week was topped off by a “Build-It Festival” in which the girls used common materials to construct their projects. All enjoyed a Professional Woman’s Panel in which the girls were inspired by stories of the women’s various paths into STEM careers. Students are nominated by teachers to attend Tech Trek Camp. The local branch of AAUW provides the funding for the students to attend and makes the final selection of campers. AAUW-Arcadia Branch
members are supporting this endeavor, along with contributions from community donors. Major donors this year are the Arcadia Chinese Association, the Hakka Foundation, El Monte City Schools, and a special contribution from departing AAUW-Arcadia member Betty Harris. Tech Trek had its beginnings at Stanford University in 1998. Ten more camps on California college campuses have followed throughout the years.

local news Mandatory “kill-switches” for smartphones to prevent theft?
ture Bill awaits Governor Jerry Brown's signa By Jennifer Schlueter With our smartphones being worth up to $700, $800 or even more, they have become favorable objects for thieves. Black market resales for stolen phones are lucrative for robbers, especially overseas, where American smartphones are more expensive. According to Consumer Reports, smartphone thefts in the US have almost doubled from 2012 to 2013 making them the leading property crime. Major cities in California are highly affected by this epidemic. In San Francisco and Oakland, cellphones were a target in 65 percent or rather 75
percent of all robberies in 2013, estimates the San Francisco city district attorney’s office. Oakland police data reveals that in the first half of this year over 80 percent of armed robberies involved mobile devices. Los Angeles has seen a 12% increase in cellphone thefts last year, reports NBC. To fight these alarming numbers, State Sen. Mark Leno introduced a bill that would require smartphone manufacturers to install a “kill-switch” into their new, California-sold devices, which would make them inoperable if they fall into the wrong hands.
Rightful owners would be able to lock their phones with antitheft software. According to CNBC, the bill exempts “smartphone models introduced before Jan. 1, 2015, that could not ‘reasonably be reengineered’ to incorporate the anti-theft technology” and excludes tablets. Should the bill become law, “manufacturers will have until July 1, 2015, to incorporate the theft deterrent, which users would be asked to turn on when they set up their new devices,” CNBC states. "Our goal is to swiftly take the wind out of the sails of thieves who have made the theft of smartphones one of the most prevalent street crimes in California's biggest cities," Leno’s statement reads. The CTIA, a trade association representing the wireless telecommunication industry, opposed the bill according to a statement by their vice president of external and state affairs, Jamie Hastings. "We urge the Governor to not sign this bill, since uniformity in the wireless industry created tremendous benefits for wireless consumers, including lower costs and phenomenal innovation," said he. "State by state technology mandates, such as this one, stifle those benefits and are detrimental to wireless con-
sumers." However, the bill’s sponsor San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón says that "the manufacturers have indicated that they will implement this technology nationwide with passage of this bill, and with organized crime rings shipping smartphones stolen in the U.S. overseas, passage of this legislation will have implications for public safety around the globe." Samsung and Apple, along with other US mobile device manufacturers have already carried out antitheft measures and are continuously working on them. After prior denial and several revisions, the “killswitch” bill was recently approved 27-8 by the California State Assembly and is now being reviewed by Governor Jerry Brown. Following Minnesota, California would be the second state to require a “kill-switch”. In May, the Midwestern state has passed a similar law. Minneapolis mayoral candidate Mark Andrew fell victim to two teenage robbers, who had beaten him down because he tried to prevent them from stealing his phone.

When All Is Said And Dunn By Bill Dunn The workers and the construction gear have left the battle scene on Rosemead Boulevard. The City leaders have had their little dog and pony show telling us just how fast they completed their task and how our lives have been vastly improved by the unwanted changes they have shoved down our throats. Now that we are no longer choking on dust and asphalt fumes that had been kicked up over the last year, it is now time for those of us who live on the front lines, and those who

Fear & loathing on Rosemead Boulevard
must use Rosemead on a regular basis, to formulate an opinion on how effective it is. From my view point, which is right in the front row on Rosemead, I can say without hesitation that it is far worse than I imagined it would be. I had raised some of my concerns before the assault began, but was summarily blown off by Carl Blum who was the head of the "Beautification and Safety" project task force at the time. I feel somewhat vindicated now that I see what we are left with. Every time the "B and S" project is brought up as the topic of conversation I have yet to hear anyone say anything positive about the end results. The general consensus is that it is neither more beautiful or safer. The two things we were being promised from the get go. Unfortunately there aren't enough pages in this fine publication to list all of the problems associated with this project. So let's just focus on a few of the more glaring mistakes. First there is the "beautification" aspect or lack of it. When the call went out to "bring me shrubbery!" they must not have been too specific, because what they came back with was some of the most pathetic ground cover and trees I have ever seen. The ground cover that was used in the little planters on the sides of the street have looked like they were dead since they were put in and have gradually got worse. The best that can be said is that they were almost green when they put them in, but now are a disgusting shade of tan. If any city saw these next to your home you would be cited and forced to clear them away because they would pose a fire hazard. Then there are the trees. At the "entrance" to Temple City to the South they start off good and then quickly stumble. We start with the grandeur of some
beautiful palm trees that in one blink of an eye are gone and are replaced for the duration with rows of perhaps the ugliest and most annoying trees that god ever created, the liquid amber trees or Liquidambar styraciflua to all of you botanists out there. If you are having a hard time picturing this irritating species they are the ones that produce a useless "fruit" that are spiky little spheres that don't do anything but make a mess. Slang terms for them are "sticker balls", "space balls", "gum balls", or my personal favorite "monkey balls." When walking you need to avoid them, oh and when you are riding a bike you should definitely stay away from them if you want a smooth ride. That last part is particularly ironic considering these trees are planted right next to the newly installed bike path. We haven't reached the point where these trees are producing massive amounts of their useless fruit yet, just wait, it is only a matter of time. At this point the only thing that the bike riders need to contend with is the stench of the unpicked-up dog poop in the planters that don't have plants in them just wood chips. Good planning Carl & Company. I wouldn't really worry about the bike riders on the new paths. Why? Well because there aren't any bike riders. Again why? Probably because nobody has enough of a death wish to climb on a bike and go pedaling on what is now one of the most dangerous thoroughfares in the San Gabriel Valley. At least for cyclists and pedestrians. Let's add drivers to that list as well. Obviously the planning committee and their consultants thought Disneyland's Autopia ride was the perfect layout for this section of Rosemead. I think they thought the scale was correct as well. They have made the lanes so small that people drift into one another's lane
freely without thinking about it. Heaven help you if you try to make a right turn off Rosemead in the midst of 40 mph traffic and not get rear ended. By the same token heaven help you if you are in the right lane behind that driver. Or how about being to the left of the last driver when he decides to change lanes to avoid the driver in front of him. Fun times, fun times... With the addition of the misplaced side planters the circus like atmosphere is complete. People have been hitting these planters on a regular basis. How does Bill know this? Well in addition to seeing it firsthand I have been told by reliable sources at the local Pep Boys that since the planters went in they have had a sizable increase in the number of tire and rim replacements due to people not seeing or expecting the planters and clipping them. They are only one of many tire stores locally so I am sure this tale is being told elsewhere as well. They just happen to be fortunate enough to be in the middle of the war zone. I'm sure my editor is reading this and saying wrap it up Dunn, wrap it up, but there is one more point that needs to be addressed. That would be the addition of a traffic light between Las Tunas Drive and Broadway. Just a quick word of advice to all of the drivers out there. Unless you have unlimited amounts of time on your hands do not attempt to make a left or right turn off of Las Tunas to go down Rosemead going South. Especially on a ... hell, let's just say never. The chances are you are going to get caught in the middle of the intersection regardless of when it is. These problems for most of you are avoidable. Simply stay off of this section of Rosemead Boulevard. For the rest of us we just need to send our auto repair bills to the attention of the Temple City City Council.

dining & entertainment Broadway and Bolero crank up the heat for California Philharmonic's sizzling 2014 season finale Another summer of California Philharmonic concerts culminates with Broadway & Bolero, their captivating season finale featuring esteemed Maestro Victor Vener, his world-class orchestra and a powerful trio of special guests. Taking place Saturday August 23 at Santa Anita Race Track and Sunday August 24 at Walt Disney Concert Hall, the scintillating program boasts Broadway sensations Randal Keith and Joan Almedilla lending their tremendous voices to songs from such hit shows including Chicago and Evita. Broadway & Bolero marks Almedilla’s California Philharmonic debut, as well as a reunion with Mr. Keith, as they performed opposite of each other on the Broadway National Tour of Les Miserables. “I like all the storytelling of each song,” said Almedilla who admits the most challenging part of performing are still her nerves. “Ah!
The anticipation! I've gotten much better at dealing with my nerves in terms of using it as a tool to get excited rather than fear what might or might not happen onstage. I find that when I am fully and even overly prepared, I just show up and have fun.” Returning to California Philharmonic after many years is acclaimed guitarist Adam Del Monte, who will turn up the heat this weekend with performances of Rodrigo’s beloved Concierto de Aranjuez. One of the leading flamenco and classical guitarists and composers of his generation, Del Monte is known for creating a unique sound and language of flamenco that is both steeped in tradition and progressive in its openness to musical flavors from around the world. The entertainment fueled finale also includes performances of Ravel’s hypnotic Bolero and Chabrier’s effervescent Espana. “I am thrilled to collaborate with these three spectacular artists
during our 2014 season finale and to share their immense talent with our Santa Anita Race Track and Walt Disney Concert Hall audiences,” expressed Vener who is already hard at work preparing for the orchestra’s 2015 summer season. “Rest assured that this season will end on not one, but many, high notes.” Audiences throughout Southern California have options to attend extremely different experiences of Cal Phil’s one-of-a-kind concerts at two iconic venues; every other Saturday evening at Santa Anita Race Track on the infield with the beautiful unobstructed backdrop of the San Gabriel Mountains or Sunday matinees at Los Angeles’ most vaunted music destination, the incomparable Walt Disney Concert Hall.

CEMALA (Classical European Music Academy Los Angeles) and parents of CEMALA, which recently provided opportunities for children with talent to participate in musical activities in Italy, just returned from a successful concert tour. Players representing Arcadia and the San Gabriel Valley were: Jamie Wang, Rachel Yin, Kaitlin Aquino, Dora Chang, Owen Lin, Alice Wang, Nolan Aragones, Ginger Vieth, Erica Wang, Kaitlin Chow and Helen Gu. As a comprehensive violin school, CEMALA is committed to nurturing young extraordinary musical talents and to providing the opportunity to perform--and this Italian concert tour was an eye opener to traveling to the historical places where quality music was born. It was kind of a cultural exchange between the Arcadia musicians and the Italian audience. The young musicians performed in very old historical buildings which incited passion in the young

“CEMALINOS” to play with their maximum effort! The experience was amazing because it was like uniting Los Angeles with Italy. The Italian people were astonished that such talent could be witnessed at such an early age. CEMALINOS certainly showed the Italian people that LA-based youth musicians can play extremely well at a very young age! It was an experience that all will remember for the rest of their lives. The laughter, the dedication, the success, the fun, the hard work: all these elements put together would best define the 2014 Italy concert tour and would also best define CEMALA, because CEMALA is simply a special place for any artist. It is rare to see an actual music school that nurtures talent to the point where there is no limit—but in CEMALA anything is possible. The director, Magdolna Berezvai, is willing to bring down the stars from the sky if that what it takes! Magdolna’s desire is to give something back to the students using

her talent, knowledge, strong recall and loyalty amongst the wider community in a very broad demographic around the world. The program helps develop early love for music and sustained discipline for achievements in the young musicians’ personal and professional lives. These young musicians are very rare and that is why CEMALA will continue to grow, and grow, with no limits. Traveling from Rome to Florence to Venice was simply an experience, both musically and spiritually. Also because the young musicians
were invited back to Italy! When the concert was over in each city the audience said, “We want them back!” The young musicians felt honored and thrilled to hear this because they played with all their might. From Arcadia to Rome to Florence to Venice! But every second was enjoyed to the fullest; the most important element in any artist’s life is to enjoy his/her craft to the maximum because it is passion which motivates an artist to perform. These young children understand this passion, and play with a full heart, which is what makes them unique.

"To My Ninth Grade Self" final performances - August 22 The opening night of “To My Ninth Grade Self” was sold out! If you missed last weekend’s performances, there will be three more this weekend! The dedicated team of Azusa Renaissance Theater (ART) and the actors are getting rave reviews. People are saying that they relate to the story in various ways. A must see! The first performance will be Friday, August 22nd at 7:30pm, followed by performances at 3:00 and 7:30pm on the 23rd. Tickets range from $8 to $12. This play, “To My Ninth Grade Self” is the product of a year’s work that began
with story circles in Azusa. It focuses on some of the issues that are affecting Azusans most. Since the non-profit merged with the Center for Diversity and Reconciliation (C.E.D.A.R) in 2010, AR's goal has been to cross lines of differences in the community through the arts. During the story circles, ART and Azusans discussed the importance of sharing one’s story. Helen Jaramillo, Azusa school board member and strong supporter of Azusa Renaissance Theater, believes that “by sharing our stories we allow personal connections to take place and bring
us together.” The play tells the story of Alexa as she copes with the stresses of high school, home life, and what comes after graduation. It deals with the issues of education, gender identity, and the importance of telling one's story. The cast is comprised of both professional actors and new, local talent. ART’s team is very excited to showcase their hard work and commitment to the community. For more information and tickets contact Mikael Taylor at azusatheater@ gmail.com or visit azusatheater.com.

Exhibition: The Curious Art of Origami to open at the Shumei Hall Gallery in Pasadena
-Courtesy Photo
The exhibition The Curious Art of Origami will feature art works by three of the most renowned origami artists in the country and will highlight the diversity of contemporary origami art. The exhibition will be held at the Shumei Hall Gallery in Pasadena (2430 E. Colorado Blvd. Tel: 626 584 8841) from September 19 through November 19 as part of the Pasadena-wide A X S Curiosity Festival (http://axsfestival. org/2014/). Origami is the Japanese word for “folded paper.” For over 1,000 years, the Japanese have been folding paper, first to create decorative gift wrappers and Shinto ceremonial objects, and later as a playful and artistic pastime. In the 20th century, the art form spread far beyond the shores of Japan, and is now a worldwide phenomenon, appealing both to school children as a way to make toys and decorations and to adults as an artistic and intellectual hobby. In the last few decades, origami has evolved into a sophisticated art form. Mathematics has contributed significantly to this evolution. Using mathematical calculations to map out the folds necessary to form particular elements of an animal, bird or insect, origami artists from all over the world have been designing increasingly complex forms, often out of a single square of paper with no cuts or glue. Some artists, however, have pushed the artistic boundaries of origami by experimenting with different types of paper and new folding techniques to create works that barely resemble traditional origami – elaborately patterned geometric forms called tessellations and simple figural or abstract
forms created with very few folds. The three artists represented in this exhibition approach origami from very different backgrounds. Robert Lang is a laser physicist, best known for his super complex figures of animals, birds and bugs, but also an important figure in the realm of applied origami, working with space laboratories, airbag designers and medical researchers to develop better designs for compressing various materials using origami folding principles. Linda Mihara is highly creative Japanese American origami artist who specializes in the traditional technique of “connecting cranes” but also applies her skills to spectacular contemporary forms, including fashion and animated origami films. Giang Dinh is a Vietnamese American architect, who uses only a few gentle folds in thick watercolor paper to create abstracted, but deeply spiritual folded paper figures. Though he is trained in traditional origami folding, his work represents a clear departure from typical origami figures. Together these three artists are pushing the boundaries of this art form to create exquisite works that spark our curiosity.

Free tours of Tournament House to conclude for 2014 Free tours of Tournament House, part of the operating headquarters of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses® Association, which oversees the annual Rose Parade® and the Rose Bowl Game®, will conclude for the year at the end of this month. The last tours of 2014 will be offered, at no cost, on August 21 and 28, at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. Reservations are not required except for groups of 15 or more. Located at 391 S.

The Wrigley family had long enjoyed the Rose Parade as it unfolded just beyond

Tournament of Roses volunteers from its Heritage Committee, well-versed in the organization’s history as well as in the details of the house itself, conduct the tours. The interior of the
house features richly paneled rooms, inlaid marble floors and an ornate molded plaster ceiling – a design element that Stimson would later become famous for. Displays related to Rose Bowl Games, Rose Queens and Royal Courts, Grand Marshals and Tournament Presidents also are part of the décor.

The cucumbers have filled the vegetable drawer, you’ve run out of cabbage recipes and your family is refusing to eat one more BLT. Or maybe you just couldn’t resist that special deal on a bushel of tomatoes, potatoes or apples at the farmer’s market. So what is a gardener or shopper to do with all that produce? Since properly stored vegetables will hold their flavor and nutritional value longer than those left in a plastic bag or set on the sunny kitchen counter, consider preserving some for the long winter ahead using one of several methods. Storage orchard racks and slatted crates placed in a cool dark location have long been used to store squash, onions and potatoes. The stackable nature or drawers provide ample storage space, so fruits and vegetables do not touch. Keeping stored fruit separated prevents rot from spreading from one fruit to the next. Plus, the slatted sides allow airflow to extend storage longevity. Those in colder climates can store their carrots and parsnips right in the garden. Once the soil gets a bit crunchy, cover them with straw or evergreen boughs for easier digging in winter. Then dig as needed or harvest during the first winter thaw. If this isn’t possible or not your style, try out a root vegetable storage bin. The root crops are layered in sand or sawdust and placed in a cool dark location. Just remove and use as needed. No snow shoveling needed. Drying is one of the
oldest food preservation techniques. Most of us have grabbed a few bundles of herbs to hang and dry. Expand your drying endeavors to include fruits and vegetables. The goal is to quickly remove moisture without cooking the food. You can make your own dehydrator or purchase one. Research has shown that blanching vegetables and fruit before drying helps destroy harmful bacteria. Blanching involves a steam or boiling water bath followed by a cold water bath. Timing varies with the fruit or vegetable you are preparing. Another ancient food preservation technique, fermentation, is experiencing a comeback. Cultures around the world have fermented fruits and vegetables for thousands of years. Unique flavors, storage options and health benefits have many gardeners revisiting this tradition. Fermenting cucumbers into pickles, cabbage into sauerkraut, and berries into preserves are just a few options. The ingredients can be as simple as water, salt, and spices. All you need is a vessel, vegetables and fermenting culture. You can jump-start your efforts with a fermentation crock kit (gardeners.com) which includes the crock, cover and weights to make sure your veggies stay safely submerged in water. Or quickly lock in the flavor and nutrition of your fruits and vegetables with freezing. You’ll need airtight containers or bags that are durable, don’t leak and won’t become brittle in cold
temperatures. Some produce does not freeze well and others may need to be blanched before they are packed in the freezer bag or container. But frozen items can easily be retrieved from the freezer and included in your winter meals. Canning is a bit more involved, but can be lots of fun. This process preserves the food and keeps it safe by preventing the growth of undesirable bacteria, yeast and mold. The sealed jars keep the flavor in and bad microorganisms out. So gather your produce, jars, pressure cooker, canner and friends to create tomato sauce, salsa, jams and jellies to enjoy or give as gifts. Whatever method you choose, do a bit of research before you start. You’ll have greater success and a lot more fun.

6 ways to conserve water in your home and garden By Redfin agent Julie Jacobson ning tap. Along with making sure you have low-flow faucets and showerheads, get a "shut-off valve" for your shower for the times while you are getting undressed, lathering up or shampooing your hair. 3. Keep it on the lawn: When you must water your lawn, only do so before 9 a.m. or after 6 p.m. to prevent as much evaporation as possible. Periodically adjust your sprinkler heads to ensure you are not watering your sidewalk, driveway or home siding. And, of course, the cardinal water sin is using your hose to clean your sidewalk. Bust out the broom and get a little cardio while keeping up your curb appeal! 4. Xeriscape it: Taking care of your traditionally landscaped yard is one thing, but the extreme conservationist will exchange a water-thirsty lawn for draughttolerant native and adapted plants, mulch, rocks and succulents – also known as “xeriscaping.” Added bonuses of these low-maintenance yards include “cash for grass” rebate programs, less use of fertilizers and insecticides, and an increase in bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. 5. Get high tech: You’ve probably heard of Nest, the smart thermostat. Well, you can get smart with your water usage as well. There are several gadgets on the market that link up to your sprinkler system and can automatically manage your water output based on climate, soil moisture and evaporation
rates. And, you guessed it, there’s an app for that. Monitor the sprinkler system right from your smartphone while at home or on vacation. This can also be a great resource for property managers looking to maintain their income properties while conserving resources. 6. Leaks are sneaks: You could be wasting gallons of water a week without even knowing it – the average American home wastes approximately 10 gallons per person per day. Here’s the best way to see if you have a sneaky leak somewhere in your home. First, locate your water meter. It is typically connected STYLE MEETS FUNCTIONALITY
As of early August, a third of the country was suffering from drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. Drought spans from seaboard to seaboard, but California is suffering most, with 82 percent of the state in either extreme or exceptional drought. The average American family of four uses 400 gallons of water per day, excluding commercial and agricultural use. A few simple changes can reduce that by as much as 30 percent, according to Water Sense, a division of the Environmental Protection Agency. Here are six ways you can start conserving water in your home and garden right now. 1. Save loads: This one seems like a no-brainer, but many people have the bad habit of washing a few clothing items or just a few dishes. Now is not the time to only wash your best pair of jeans or your favorite coffee mug. Your washing machines should only be used when they are filled to the brim with a full load. Wash in cold water if possible for added energy savings, and buy energy-efficient appliances when the time comes to replace them. 2. Running water is running out: You’ve likely heard it before, but it bears repeating: Don’t let the water run when brushing your teeth or washing your hands. Short showers are better than baths and “Energy Star” certified dishwashers are 80 percent more efficient than washing dishes by hand under a run-
to your main supply line just at the property boundary near your front lawn. Turn off the water main to your home and check the meter. If it’s moving, you’ve got a leak. Check all the spots where lines are connected: hose bibs, faucets, meter lines and your toilet tanks. If you still can’t locate the leak, it’s time to call the plumber. Conserving water is imperative in these arid times. But saving H2O can also save you some serious dough. Aside from cutting your water bill, you may also qualify for substantial rebates by implementing the techniques listed above.

L.A. Metro asks for public’s help in recommending potential locations for new bike sharing pilot program
In efforts to jumpstart the shared use of bicycles for short distance trips, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) today announced it is seeking public suggestions on potential bike share locations in Downtown Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Long Beach and Pasadena as part of a new pilot program. As the agency responsible for coordinating an interoperable countywide bike sharing implementation plan, Metro has developed an interactive Google map consisting of strategically placed bikeshare stations within the pilot cities where bicycles can be borrowed on a short-term basis. The map is available online at: http://www.metro.net/bikes/bikes-metro/ help-build-bikeshare/. Web site users can zoom into the map to view exact locations of proposed bike sharing stations. Users who know of a good location for a bikeshare station can then “pin it” on the map, and a new pin will appear in purple. If a location has already been suggested, the user can indicate that they ‘like’ it or submit their own input about the location by leaving a comment on the existing pin. Bikeshare stations are located near key destinations, including rail and bus stations that are within accessible distance of other bikeshare stations to help people make trips. Metro has limited the location of pins to areas that are exclusively within the four pilot city areas. Users that have other suggestions for bikeshare locations can email them to bikeshare@metro.net for consideration in subsequent program phases. Final bikeshare station locations will be determined by Metro, pilot cities and their bikeshare operator. Locations will be determined based on availability of space, rightof-way, disabled patron access, demand and other factors. Input will be accepted through September 8, 2014. “We're expanding our

transportation options to reduce traffic and improve quality of life for everyone in L.A County,” said Los Angeles Mayor and Metro Board Chair Eric Garcetti. “We all want to get around more easily, and, with the public's help, we will build a regional bike share program that crosses city borders and gives us a new way to go from place to place.” Metro’s implementation plan team is studying business models that identify how user and advertising fees, corporate sponsorships, and/or grant funding can support bike share operations. As part of the pilot, Metro will coordinate closely with early adopter jurisdictions before completing its plan. Following completion, Metro will then move to procure, contract and administer the regional bikeshare program anticipated to launch in 2016. Santa Monica will be implementing a Metro grant-funded bike share system of at least 350 bikes in anticipation of Expo Light Rail opening and in support of local and regional sustainability, transit access and congestion reduction goals. “The system is anticipated to be available in 2015, serving areas throughout Santa Monica
and up to five locations in adjacent areas,” said Francie Stefan, Strategic and Transportation Planning Manager for the City of Santa Monica. “Coordination with Metro, local and sub- regional partners are supporting integrated implementation so that the system is of greatest benefit to users.” “The City of Pasadena is excited to partner with Metro in advancing a bike share program that will provide increased access to our Gold Line stations and our many local destinations,” said Mark Yamarone, Transportation Planning Administrator for Pasadena. “Bike sharing is an important component in helping Pasadena meet its goal to be a city where people can circulate without a car.” Bike share programs throughout the United States have proven successful in providing people with first and last-mile short trip transportation options that help reduce local vehicle trips. When complemented with transit, these bike sharing platforms help reduce travel times, improve access and spur the growth of bicycling as an increasingly viable transportation mode.

Bold moves toward a bright future The Petersen unveils its interior master plan, announces lead gifts to its capital campaign and acquires new talent
-Courtesy Photo
Amidst a year of tremendous growth, the Petersen Automotive Museum detailed a comprehensive master plan that will transform the 20-year-old Los Angeles institution into one of the finest automotive museums in the world. The New Petersen will seamlessly blend cutting-edge interactive technology with rare and historically significant vehicles, a focus on the art of the automobile and also document Southern California cultural milestones. Announcements included a virtual tour of the museum’s interior, which features 22 new galleries as part of the complete threefloor re-design. Additions to the museum’s board of directors and staff and updates on the ongoing capital campaign were also revealed. “We sought out the finest minds in museums, entertainment, education, architecture and design to create an immersive experience that blends art and science in a way that will equally appeal to those who love the automobile and visitors looking to learn something new,” said Peter Mullin, the Petersen’s Chairman of the Board. “We have made significant headway in our capital campaign and construction is underway. Our final major event before the interior renovation is the annual Gala, which will be held on October 18. This event will honor three automotive icons and feature a performance by The Beach Boys. Then the transformation will begin for the New Petersen, which will be a global museum standard-bearer the people of Los Angeles will be proud to call their own.” One year after revealing a stunning new exterior design by Kohn Pedersen Fox
Associates that will wrap the museum with long ribbons of stainless steel, the museum has unveiled an innovative gallery display plan that will set a new standard for automotive museums. Highlights include cutting-edge galleries, interactive children’s displays, exhibits dedicated to art and design, media and industry, motorsports and technology and the unique role motorized transportation had in the development of Los Angeles. Visitors will begin their journey on the third floor. It will be dedicated to the history of the automobile, both in Southern California and around the world – and includes a look at Hollywood’s love affair with cars. Visitors will then descend to the second floor, dedicated to the industry of the automobile. Galleries here will explore racing, customization, manufacturing and alternate-fuel technologies as well as interactive spaces for families and a groundbreaking new satellite design studio for Art Center College of Design, the world’s leading transportation design school. Visitors will end up on the first floor, focusing on the art of the automobile. This will include a large main salon devoted to the world’s most beautiful automobiles and contemporary art gallery, where well known artists can explore the automobile as both inspiration and medium. The Petersen’s ongoing capital campaign is well on its way toward its $125M goal, with over $70M raised to date. Lead gifts to the ambitious campaign include multimillion dollar commitments from the Petersen Foundation and the Mullin, Sydorick, Meyer, Varner, and Nearburg families. In recognition
of this leadership, several of the 22 new galleries have already been named. The first floor will be The Mullin Floor, and will include The Mullin Grand Salon, featuring some of the most iconic and beautiful cars from the past century. The David and Ginny Sydorick Grand Concourse will also reside on the first floor. The second floor will include the Bruce A. Meyer Gallery, the Richard Varner Family Motorcycle Gallery and the Charles Nearburg Motorsports Gallery. The museum’s leadership and staff have also grown to tackle the challenges of building a cutting-edge institution that resides in a thriving metropolis — and will attract visitors from around the world. Several additions have been made to its Board of Directors. Richard Varner, a 30-year veteran of the energy and motorcycle sectors, now serves as treasurer and board member. Also new to the board are Charles Nearburg, a former race car driver and energy industry executive, and noted investor Richard Roeder, who has served on the boards of several key Los Angeles institutions, including The Natural History Museum, The Music Center and the Los Angeles Orthopedic Hospital Foundation. The Petersen will continue the mission set forth by its founder, Robert E. Petersen, to showcase the automobile’s role in art and culture, both locally and globally, while celebrating Southern California’s place as the epicenter of the automotive landscape.

South Pasadena High School ‘massacre' thwarted
Continued from page 1
They were making a huge plan of a school massacre that identified three staff members at the school by name that they were targeting,” as well as “random” students, Miller said. Police learned initially of the plot by a concerned citizen who alerted South Pasadena police of the threat last Thursday. “They just wanted to kill as many people as possible,” he said.
No weapons were found when the students were arrested, but the pair believed they had access to a firearm belonging to a relative, Miller said. The young men, who are now in juvenile hall under arrest, discussed using automatic weapons, knives, bombs and wearing bulletproof vests, according to Chief Miller. The students, ages 16 and 17, are being held on suspicion of conspiracy

and criminal threats but will likely face additional charges. The police apparently conducted ‘Internet surveillance’ on the two suspects, who used social media. The FBI offered to help police and has been aiding the investigation, Miller said. Additional police presence is planned for the first day of school, Thursday.
The Frostig Center names two leaders in education to top posts The Frostig Center has appointed Jenny Janetske Head of School and Chris Schnieders the new Director of Research, two highly experienced educators who will strengthen the organization’s mission to provide innovative and successful teaching methods to students who learn differently. “We want to make sure we are always teaching each child in the way he or she learns best,” said The Frostig Center’s Executive Director Dean Conklin. “Having a strong research department alongside our skilled teaching staff ensures that we always use best practices in how we educate our students.” New Head of School Janetske has extensive experience in special education, as well as curriculum, instruction, professional development, and school leadership, said Conklin. She has a master’s degree in educational leadership and 17 years of administrative and teaching experience in the Duarte, Monrovia and Hacienda La Puente school districts.
“I am already very impressed with the teachers and staff at Frostig School,” said Janetske. “Everyone is so supportive and generous with their ideas and encouragement. You can feel it.” As Director of Research, Schnieders brings more than 30 years of teaching, research and administrative experience to her new role. Schnieders has a Ph.D. in Special Education, teaches at Azusa Pacific University and California State University, Northridge, and is the former Head of School at Frostig as well as its past Director of Teacher Training. “This full-time position will also allow us to really take advantage of being in Southern California, where so much work is being done in the field of learning disabilities and high-functioning autism by institutions like USC, UCLA and UCI,” said Conklin. “We want to look at all the ongoing research in the area to confirm that we are always using the most effective strategies.” Emphasizing that
Frostig’s responsibility to its students does not end after 12th grade, Conklin also announced plans to offer a post high school program to help graduates make the best transition possible to work or college. “I’m really excited about the direction in which we’re going,” said Conklin. “We take great pride in being a leader in educating students who learn in a different way. We want to keep it moving forward.” A resource for the San Gabriel and Greater Los Angeles communities, The Frostig Center was founded in 1951 by Dr. Marianne Frostig, a pioneer in the study, diagnosis and treatment of learning differences. The school offers a full range of academic and support services for children with learning disabilities (such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia and auditory processing disorders), highfunctioning autism and ADHD.

‘Back to School’ at Judson is like coming home By Evan Harris, Judson Senior
As a student at Judson International School since the first grade, I have never dreaded the phrase “Back to School.” Because Judson has always been like a family to me, starting school feels more like returning home. Back to School Picnic, held the day before school starts, is what sets the tone for the new school year. I get to see the friends I’ve missed all summer at the perfect summer’s-end event. Everyone is invited– students, parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousinsincluding all who wish to check out the school and get a feel for the Judson community. Few schools can compete with Judson’s dedication to building the best community possible for the children. Judson is not a faceless organization; the school cares about building relationships. Principal Diana Bjoraker has received very positive feedback for the picnic over the years. She says most of the students’
families attend, and it’s wonderful for the new students and their families to be welcomed by everyone. Students enjoy seeing their classrooms and classmates for the year, while parents appreciate getting to know the teachers, staff and each other in such a relaxed, personable atmosphere. Many former students also come back for the picnic to re-connect with old friends, faculty, and see the new changes at the school. This year, parents and students will be excited to see Judson’s newly renovated computer lab (I’ve had a peek in there and it looks fantastic), remodeled front office, and the new high school building. Another impressive aspect about this pot luck event is the array of international cuisines the families bring. I have seen dishes like Kim Bop from Korea, Chicken Tikka Masala from India, Yorkshire pudding from England, and dumplings from China make up
some of the spread. This is reflective of the diverse presence we have at Judson. Judson is unique because about 30% of the students have lived overseas at some point in their lives. Last year, we had ten different countries represented in our student body. The students bring wealth of experiences and culture to our community and this makes its learning environment rich and interesting. This picnic is so much more than just a school formality---it’s a family reunion. Only this family keeps growing, and welcomes new additions with open arms each year. I can’t wait! So why not hang out with us at the beautiful Judson campus in North Pasadena, at 6:00 p.m. on August 25th?

State Schools Chief Tom Torlakson announces new toolkit to help educators explain Common Core
Educators and school districts now have a new free toolkit to help them spread the word about how the Common Core State Standards are remodeling California’s education system to better prepare students for college and careers, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced today. “As students and teachers head back to school they will be experiencing exciting changes in California education, including a new way of teaching and learning through the Common Core,” Torlakson said. “Now educators have additional help in dispelling the mystery and concerns of families about this transition with a new communications toolkit created with the help of several major education groups in the state.” “Explaining Common Core to Californians: A Communications Toolkit” is an online resource created with the help of the California Department of Education, State Board of Education,
Californians Dedicated to Education, California County Superintendents Educational Services Association, California State PTA®, California School Boards Association, California Teachers Association, California Federation of Teaches AFT/AFL-CIO, Association of California School Administrators, the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, and the nonprofit FrameWorks. The resource is a collection of research, recommendations, and sample communications designed to help educators increase their own and the public’s understanding of the kinds of instruction, testing, and support needed to fulfill the potential of the Common Core. For example, educators can download printable message cards that provide metaphors to help them explain Common Core, talking points to help them describe what Common Core does, frequently asked questions on challenging topics, tips on how to use social media, sample letters
to parents, and a Common Core video. Californians Dedicated to Education also will hold a series of Webinars to provide an overview of the Communications Toolkit and practical tips on how to use it with a special focus on back-toschool messaging. Click on the links below to register for the free Webinars. Advanced registration is required.

Roadtrip Nation and Hobsons Partner to help youth prepare for college and future careers Roadtrip Nation, a career exploration organization based in Southern California, will work with Hobsons’ Naviance, a national career and college readiness platform, to launch a robust college and career exploration curriculum for students in grades 6-12. The partnership was formed as part of the organizations’ Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Commitment to Action around CGI America. CGI America is a branch of the Clinton Foundation that finds solutions to promote economic recovery in the United States. Co-developed by Hobsons and Roadtrip Nation, the Naviance College and Career Readiness Curriculum is a blended learning solution that helps students build critical non-cognitive skills and college knowledge, instilling confidence so that they will persevere to reach their long-term academic and career goals. Throughout the easy-to-implement curriculum, students engage in selfreflective activities to explore
different pathways and start planning their careers around their interests. Students are exposed to engaging video interviews with professionals and college students, allowing them to hear real-world advice about overcoming life’s challenges. Roadtrip Nation’s cofounder Mike Marriner believes in the necessity of the service. “Schools often do not have sufficient resources to meet every student’s individual needs. The curriculum addresses this challenge by providing a personalized, student-driven tool that covers a range of critical topics in each grade, including setting smart goals, developing success skills, and planning for college.” Although the curriculum is designed for all students, the CGI Commitment to Action will specifically target markets with large at-risk, low-income, minority populations, historically high dropout rates, and the highest student-to-counselor ratios. Through the commit-
ment, Roadtrip Nation and Hobsons plan to reach 30,000 students and support 50 overburdened counselors.
constantly changing world by helping them learn step-bystep the real world skills they need for college and careers. The Common Core provides all students, no matter where
they live or where they were born, a world-class education that’s consistent from school to school so they will graduate ready to contribute to the state and nation. It also
replaces the state’s outdated ways of learning with a clear focus on the key knowledge and skills students need while providing teachers the time to teach the standards well.

Apaches Football gearing up for coming season By SHEL SEGAL
For the Arcadia High football team, after finishing 5-5 a year ago it’s all about capitalizing on those mistakes. And coach Andrew Policky thinks he’s got the group that can do it. In his second year at the helm of the Apaches, Policky said the team is improving. “It’s been an interesting year,” Policky said. “We had a tough year last year. It was an ugly 5-5. We should be better than that this year. We had a long, hard offseason. We got a great group of kids who keep coming every day and are working hard.” The one word that describes what the team is lacking is cohesiveness, Policky said. But after the team spent a weekend this summer on a retreat in Big Bear, Policky said he is hoping those problems are in the past. “We’re just trying to bring them together,” he said. “I think last year it felt like we were just a bunch of individuals. We weren’t a cohesive
unit. This year, I feel like we’re heading in the right direction. Guys are playing hard and are playing for each other.” Policky added the team is trying to be stronger on the field. “Just our overall level of toughness,” he said. “The last couple years we’ve been a little bit soft. And just being more cohesive and playing for each other. Somehow we’ve gotten away from that the past couple of years. It just hasn’t been Arcadia football. We’re getting back to playing physical, playing as a group and playing for each other.” In addition, Policky said last year’s squad won the easy games and lost the tough ones, adding that needs to change this season. “We won the games we were supposed to win last year,” he said. “We weren’t upset by anybody. But we didn’t turn any heads by beating anybody. This year
we need to turn that corner and beat some of the good teams and be thought of as a good team ourselves.” Leading the Apaches on offense is junior quarterback Nico Hillier, who Policky said should hopefully bring some wins to the team. “He’s pretty athletic,” Policky said of Hillier. “He’s tall and has a strong arm. He can throw the football. He’s going to be a good football player for us." Running the ball and playing linebacker on defense will be fullback Josh Benson. Benson is expected to see a lot of playing time, Policky said. “He’s going to be one of our leaders this year,” Policky said of Benson. “He’s going to carry the football a lot. We’ll have to spot him on defense because he’s going to carry it a lot. He’s going to be a good player for us.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com.
Save the date to fundraise for the Monrovia Historical Foundation Save the date! The Monrovia Historical Museum is having a big fundraiser on August 23rd from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Historical Museum building on 742 E. Lemon Ave. The museum will be selling off some of its collection of items not related to Monrovia to raise badly needed funds for repairs, updates in accession software, conservation materials, and to pay for upcoming exhibits. A partial list of items to be sold: books dating back to 1904; 1940s vintage record collections; an 1884 home heating stove; trophies (Elks Culver City 1964 and others); 1940s and ‘50s children’s chairs; student’s desk; vintage furniture; photos of the 40th Infantry Division at Camp Cood (222 HU Mort) and at Camp San Luis Obispo, July
1949; other military paraphernalia; mason jars; and vinyl records featuring Doris Day and Les Brown, as well as many others of that period. But wait—there’s more! The public is also welcome to bring items of their own to sell. So far, other sellers’ items include the following: historical documents; an Ediphone that plays Amber Roll records; a North Vietnamese doctor’s military uniform (complete with medals); a Blue Star Family FLAG (not window notice); one large J.F. Kennedy for President poster; one smaller R.F. Kennedy for President poster; a framed autographed set of pictures of the crew of the Enola Gay and other Americana Victorian, Arts and Crafts, and Mission-style furniture; and vintage children’s toys.
Here is a great opportunity for those of you wanting to let go of those difficult items…like Great-Aunt Tillie’s sugar bowl…too good for a yard sale but too personal for a thrift store. The cost for a 10x10-foot space is just $10, and you may buy more than one space. We also welcome professional dealers at $20 for a 10x10 space. You are a professional if you sell items at antique malls, auctions, and estate sales. Sellers must provide their own tables, chairs, and canopies. Restrooms and water are available. This sale will be advertised on Craigslist and in the online Pennysaver. For more information, please contact Pam Barkas at monroviahistoricalmuseum@gmx.com or (626) 599-8187.

Sierra Madre yellow water; pipes being replaced on Mountain Trail
Continued from page 1
noticing holes in their pipes and suffering some serious leaks as a result. Richey is also questioning the actual amount of water Sierra Madre has. And why is Arcadia so different? Mr. Richey told Beacon Media that: “Denise, Rachelle and Harabedian were given Elaine’s response and agreed to support me. No one had the backbone to say a word (at council meeting Tuersday). Richey feels his request for paperwork from city hall are not being met. With regard to Mr. Richey’s numerous requests for public documents, City Manager Elaine Aguilar responded to Mr. Richey several times over the past month: Here is one of her letters ( Dated Aug 12) to Mr. Richey: “Hello Mr. Richey – "You have received an official response to your three previously submitted public records requests. I see, by your email below that you acknowledge receiving my response. My response complies with state law and is evidence that I responded to your requests. My letter indicates that there are documents available for your review and that you can come in during regular business hours to review the documents. If you would like copies of the documents, the copies are 6 cents a page. As of close of business today, August 12th, you have not come in to review the documents. "There was additional information you requested in your previously submitted public records requests and my correspondence requests clarification from you. I can show you sample reports to see if they are what you are seeking. Again, please let me know if this is what you would like to do. "Next, you have also submitted new questions (#2, 3, 4 in your August 1st email.) Your email isn’t clear regarding whether your request is a request pursuant to the public records act, but I am glad to provide any assistance that I can, so I am providing answers below. (As you are aware, the public records act does not require written answers to submitted questions, nor does it require the creation of “new” documents.) • As of 8/11/14, the water level at City Well # 5 in the East Raymond Basin is 377.3
AMSL. • Has the East Raymond Basin increased at a rate of 1,000 acre feet per month since Oct 10, 2013? Based on an estimate provided by the Watermaster’s engineer, 50 feet of elevation in the Basin = 9,000 acre-feet. Therefore 9,000/50 = 180 AF per foot of elevation. June 30 elevation 382.1 AMSL – October 9 elevation 335.6 AMSL = 46.5 feet x 180 = 8,370 AF. October to June = 8 months. 8,370/8 = 1,046 AF/Month. However, it should be noted that the rate of increase has reversed and ground water levels are already showing a decline as Arcadia has begun using their wells. • Does Sierra Madre have 4,000 acre feet of water credits from MWD? No, the city does not have any water credits from the MWD. • The water credits are with the San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District. The total credits as of January 1, 2014 were 3,038.2 Acre Feet. a. Detailed calculation: 961.8 AF were deducted from the 4,000 AF in payment for the 480.9 AF used October – December of 2013. That
leaves 3,038.2 AF as of January 1st. • What is the City’s yearly water consumption? For Fiscal Year 2013-2014, the total consumption was 2,568 AF. "Staff had previously prepared a 13 month graph of water consumption which showed a total of 3,088 acre feet for the 13 month period of June 2012 to June 2013. However, the Fiscal Year 2012-2013 total is 2,815 AF. "Thank you for your email and please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. Also, please let me know if you would like to come into City Hall to view the reports that we do have available. Thank you, Elaine Aguilar City Manager" Public Works Director Bruce Inman DID respond to our request for more information about the progress on Mountain Trail and other issues, but unfortunately it came after we printed the paper last week so we print here what we posted on our website. Here are the questions
we posed and the subsequent responses from Mr. Inman. I would also like to point out that in our Print Edition we said: "Richey’s request for Public Records is on-going and an email request for comment from city hall by this newspaper has not been received as of press time." We did not mean to imply or infer that Sierra Madre Weekly made a public Records request and was turned down. This was an error. When we ask for information from the city manager’s office, the response has always been prompt. Sierra Madre Weekly: I understand than construction was supposed to start yesterday on Mountain Trail to replace the 1920's era pipes....However, being there this AM I saw no sign of the work other than a few pipes along the side of the road. City of Sierra Madre Response: “Yesterday, the 12th, the contractor was completing the saw-cutting of pavement in preparation for excavation. As of this morning at 6:30 when I came in, there was no other sign of activity; they cannot start work until 7. By
2:00 today the first 300 feet of pipe have already been laid. This contractor is fast.” Sierra Madre Weekly: Has the project been delayed, and who is paying for this? City of Sierra Madre Response: “The project was delayed due to having to re-bid the project once, and prior to that it was delayed because the federal funding agency had to review the plans and specifications. There were no additional costs incurred because of the delay.” Sierra Madre Weekly: There is rumbling that the city gets Federal (maybe state) funds for this, is this accurate, if so, how much is this phase of the infrastructure repair costing and when is scheduled completion date? City of Sierra Madre Response: “The total cost of the project, as awarded by the City Council, is $698,500. Of that amount, $242,500 is funded through a federal EPA grant originating from the 2007 Water Resources Development Act. The project is anticipated to be completed by October 8.”
Sierra Madre Weekly: Oh, additionally I've had a few emails from people about the yellow water causing some pin holes and other leaks in homeowners' pipes in Sierra Madre causing expensive repairs, according to one. City of Sierra Madre Response: “There are a number of factors influencing the performance of plumbing materials. Type of plumbing material, age of the system/ pipes, water chemistry, and pH all play a part.” Sierra Madre Weekly Is the city testing this water? I would think if the water really is causing damage to the pipes it might not be terribly good inside human beings. City of Sierra Madre Response: “The city is testing the water on a regular basis. The water meets all State water quality guidelines for tap water. This water is the same water being served all over Southern California, from San Diego to San Fernando. Millions of people are using this water on a daily basis.”

Woman convicted of leaving Arcadia Little League honored by City Council children inside car, sentenced to jail 120 days in jail, probation and stay away from children The recent conviction of a woman who left her two young children locked in a car parked on a Pasadena city street on a hot summer day serves as an important reminder that the Pasadena City Attorney/City Prosecutor’s Office will rigorously seek convictions in similar cases. “There is no such thing as a quick errand when it comes to leaving kids or animals in the sweltering heat inside a car,” Pasadena City Attorney/ City Prosecutor Michele Beal Bagneris said. “Our message is clear: don’t leave children inside a car in the heat.” Recently, Highland Park resident Corina Lopez, 35, pled guilty on Aug. 5, 2014 to two counts of child endangerment stemming from an Aug. 1, 2014 incident in which she left her two children, ages 3 and 7, inside a
car parked on the street near the Pasadena Public Health Department. The Department’s security guard alerted public safety officials to the situation. Pasadena Fire officials at the scene determined the temperature inside the car was over 120 degrees. Authorities got the children to unlock the car door to free themselves prior to forcing entry into the car. The children were checked by paramedics who determined they were otherwise unharmed. Police questioned Ms. Lopez and she was taken into custody. Later, two counts of Penal Code section 273a(a), child endangerment likely to lead to serious injury or death, one count per child, were filed. She pled guilty at her Aug. 5 arraignment and was sentenced to five years of probation; 120 days in county jail; man-
datory year of parenting classes; pay court fines and fees; ordered to stay away from the children completely and to obey all orders from the Department of Children and Family Services. At the time of her arrest and conviction in this case, Ms. Lopez was on probation for conviction of driving under the influence in a January 2013 case. Bagneris said such cases in Pasadena, while rare, will not be tolerated. Her office usually files about two such cases each year out of about 4,500 case filings. “Even one case is one too many when it comes to leaving children in cars on a hot summer day,” she added. “We have a great team of prosecutors in Pasadena and we are ready to seek the full extent of justice in order to protect the children.”

Gas explosion at Arcadia City Yard causes $450,000 in damage Arcadia firefighters, with units from Los Angeles County and Monrovia Fire Departments, responded to a reported vehicle fire at the City of Arcadia Public Works Services Department, located at 11800 Goldring Road early Tuesday morning. Upon arrival, fire personnel witnessed an active vehicle fire involving a City-
owned compressed natural gas street sweeper inside a carport. Firefighters immediately began suppression operations, containing the fire to the street sweeper and the structure of origin. Although the exact cause of the fire remains under investigation, preliminary findings indicate that a substantial explosion occurred
prior to the fire, causing damage to the street sweeper, carport structure, tools, and nearby City vehicles. The explosion is suspected to be the cause of the fire. Damage to the structure is estimated to be $100,000, along with a complete loss of the street sweeper at approximately $350,000. No injuries or loss of life were reported.

Holden’s kitchen grease theft bill Local resident in Sierra Madre is mad as hell goes to Governor for signature (at city hall); and not going take it anymore The California State Legislature has overwhelmingly approved Assemblymember Chris Holden’s bill to strengthen laws against stealing used cooking oil. The Assembly gave final approval to Holden’s AB 1566 which increases penalties for stealing grease and beefs up law enforcement’s efforts to stop modern-day-rustlers. The vote was 70 to 0. Used cooking oil from deep fryers in restaurants all across the state has become a hot commodity which can be worth hundreds of dollars when converted into cleanburning biofuel. It is often targeted by grease thieves who see it as a way to make
an easy haul. The penalties have been so minor, many law enforcement agencies don’t even respond when owners report the theft. “As the alternative fuels market keeps growing, the demand for inedible kitchen grease-based biofuels will grow as well,” said Assemblymember Holden. “The price increases stemming from this new demand will make grease theft a more lucrative crime in the coming years. AB 1566 provides law enforcement with the tools to combat grease theft and protect the burgeoning biofuels market by beefing up requirements for licensed haulers,
increasing the penalties for stealing grease and allowing law enforcement to impound vehicles for up to 15 days.” According to the California Department of Food and Agriculture, a typical fast-food restaurant produces 150-250 pounds of grease a week and a fully loaded pumper truck could bring in as much as $900 at a recycling center. Thieves often strike in the night and syphon off the used grease and sell it on the black market. It has been an on-going safety and environmental issue in many areas. AB 1566 now goes to the Governor for signature.
Summer festival ends with gunfire in Pasadena Friday evening Three men were wounded in a shooting at the end of a summer festival at Robinson Park in Pasadena late Friday night. Officials sent out a Nixel alert to stay away
from Fair Oaks Avenue and Hammond Street due to “police activity.” Police officers heard the sound of gunfire coming from an area near the north parking lot. As offi-
cers were responding additional 911 calls came in reporting the shots fired. One man was shot in the chest; the other injuries are unknown at this time.
By SHEL SEGAL Vern Hensel is mad. A longtime resident of Sierra Madre, like other residents Hensel feels he is paying taxes upon taxes. And he thinks the city of Sierra Madre is the culprit. So much so that he recently wrote a letter to the city council and the city manager reading the following: “Are you aware that the city is now charging us a total of 25 percent in additional fees on our utility related bills, which is being collected by the various utility providers and given to the city? As an example, just take a look at your (garbage) bill and you will find that it clearly itemizes the following two fees: “Fee #1 – Franchise Fee = 15 percent; Fee #2 – City Fee (Utility Tax) = 10 percent; total fees charged on utility bills that go to the city of Sierra Madre = 25 percent.” Hensel added in the letter that he knows this prac-
tice is used widely by the city, and it is something that should not occur: “And all of our other utility type bills have similar charges listed. In fact, one of our utility bills has the Sierra Madre utility tax being charged not only on the utility bill amount, but also on the fees/taxes being charged on the bill by other entities, so it’s a charge on top of a charge. That is totally inappropriate and should not be acceptable to any of us.” Hensel said this logic just does not add up. “They’re not charging me to drive home every day, I have exclusive use of the streets,” he said. However, Sierra Madre City Manager Elaine Aguilar said while she can appreciate Hensel’s concern, he doesn’t have all the information. “I can say definitively it is not a tax on a tax,” Aguilar said. “Franchise fees are not a tax. There is a legal differ-
ence between fees and taxes. I’m a consumer like everybody else is and in the end it’s money out of my pocket, but as far as the law is concerned there is a difference between fees and taxes.” She added they are mutually exclusive of each other. “The utility users tax is a tax and it is voter approved,” Aguilar said. “The people did vote in 2008 for an increased utility users tax. Franchise fees, on the other hand, are authorized pursuant to state law. Cities are authorized whenever they are granting an exclusive contract – garbage, gas, electric – cities are authorized to negotiate a franchise fee. It’s not a tax on a tax. If you look at the bill you’re not paying the utility users tax on the franchise fee. They’re calculated separately.” (Shel Segal can be reached at ssegal@beaconmedianews.com.

He will be greatly missed by his family: son Robert Reid Young, mother Mary Young, twin sister Carolyn, brother Donald, his fiancée Ilona Linden, and many cousins. Bob's entire life was spent in the Arcadia-Sierra Madre area. He attended Arcadia schools, graduating from Arcadia High School in 1968. He attended the University of Southern California, was a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity, and participated in many school activities. He graduated from the School of Engineering in 1972 with a BS degree in mechanical engineering. He formed his own company, Robert M. Young and
Associates, in 1978. Headquartered in Pasadena, he specialized in air-conditioning design for big buildings, and held engineering licenses in
fifteen states as well as Spain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Singapore, and Malaysia. Over the years he designed systems for more than 50 large multi-story buildings and some 30 acute
care hospitals Bob enjoyed people and local activities.

A new California Appellate case just published August 8, 2013, “Glaski v. Bank of America”, holds that a homeowner can challenge his lender’s right to foreclose by showing that the Deed of Trust never made it into the securitized trust until after the trust’s closing date. This is the case in most loans made in the last 12 years. If the bank foreclosed we should be able to get the homeowner money damages and/or the house back. Or a lawsuit could be filed and a court ruling obtained preventing the court from foreclosing. Recently enacted Sections 2924(a)(6) and 2924.19 of California Civil Code provide the same relief to homeowners. It is highly suggested that homeowners take this window of opportunity to get relief before the banks get Congress to close this door with national legislation. Contact us so we can help you.

PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION: On June 11, 2014 the Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed project to the City Council.
APPLICANT:
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the City has conducted an Initial Study which shows that the proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment with the imposition of the proposed mitigation measures. The adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration is therefore proposed.
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the Monrovia City Council certified the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) in 2008 for the update of the Land Use and Circulation Elements of the Monrovia General Plan. The proposed General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, and repeal of the Station Square Specific Plan, will not result in new significant environmental effects and will not result in a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects, and is within the scope of the project covered by the EIR adopted in 2008. Therefore no new environmental document is required.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 013102-CA.
